In Oracle Payroll Cloud, the payroll frequency is a fundamental attribute of the payroll definition and cannot be altered once the definition has been used. The correct and standard procedure to change the pay frequency for a group of workers is to create a new payroll definition with the desired frequency (monthly). Subsequently, you must transfer the workers from the old payroll (semi-monthly) to the new one. This transfer is accomplished by updating the payroll field on each worker's assignment record, effective from the date the change takes place (1st January). This approach ensures historical data integrity while correctly processing future payrolls under the new policy.

B: Terminating and creating new employment records is incorrect and drastic. It breaks employment continuity and negatively impacts seniority, benefits, and reporting. A payroll change is an update to an existing assignment.

C: Updating only the "Date Paid" does not change the payroll period's frequency (start and end dates). The system would still calculate pay for semi-monthly periods, which fails to meet the requirement.

D: The frequency is a core, unchangeable attribute of a payroll definition once time periods are generated and used. Attempting to modify the start and end dates of an existing definition would lead to data corruption.

Chapter 5: Define Payrolls

Section: Payroll Definitions. This section details the components of a payroll definition

stating

"The payroll definition includes a payroll period type

such as weekly or monthly..." This establishes that frequency is a core part of the definition itself.

Chapter 4: Payroll and Personal Payment Details

Section: How You Assign a Person to a Payroll. This document explains that a person is associated with a payroll through their assignment. It states

"To change a person's payroll

you update their payroll details on the Payroll Relationships page." This supports the "transfer" action described in the correct answer.

3. Oracle Help Center

Document: How You Change a Worker's Payroll (Doc ID not applicable

part of standard UI help). The procedural documentation for updating a worker's assignment confirms that changing payrolls is done by editing the assignment record and selecting a new payroll definition

with a specific effective date. This directly contradicts options B

C

and D

which propose incorrect methods.
